CHICO, Calif. — A 14-year-old teenager was arrested in Chico on Friday following a reported assault of an elderly woman at the Chico High School.

Chico Police said the high school's custodial staff found a severely injured 71-year-old woman at the athletic stadium, off of Warner Street, at around 6:30 a.m. on Friday morning.

The elderly woman regularly used the school's track for exercise, according to investigators. They determined the victim was exercising on the track roughly an hour after the high school commencement ceremony on June 2 when they were pursued and attacked from behind by a suspect with a large, bludgeoning weapon.

Police said the suspect fled the area and left the victim incapacitated on the grounds until she was found the next morning. 

Investigators determined the suspect to be a 14-year-old boy. On Friday, at around 2:30 p.m., police found and arrested him for attempted murder.
